Specifically within engineering education, CAcontinues to gain popularity due to its effectiveness in advancing students’ competencies andemphasis on contextual learning [7-8]. Engineering students involved in courses that used theCA framework have reported more positive attitudes toward the course, and a strong preferencefor CA due to its accommodation of diverse learning styles [9-10].The CA framework aims to teach novices the problem-solving techniques used by expertsthrough four dimensions: content, methods, sequencing, and

They noted that while it is possible to use AI for all work, it is the human's responsibility not to delegate everything to AI.5. Context: The responses agreed that AI was more suitable for some contexts than others. For example, AI is more suited for quick brainstorming and "short-term" projects than long-term ones. Additionally, AI is better at providing feedback than generating novel ideas. One student noted, "AI's main strength is saving time, not generating amazing ideas."Overall, most students responded that they would use AI in

Impact of a curriculum and design course redesign on student’s engineering design process knowledgeIntroductionIn 2024, significant changes were implemented in the first-year engineering program at theUniversity of Virginia, leading to a major redesign of courses across the curriculum. Previously,first-year students took two separate courses: one focused on the engineering design process,technical communication, and prototyping, while the other centered on sociotechnical concepts,non-technical communication, and ethics. However, starting in 2024, these courses wereintegrated into a single sequence taught by one instructor to eliminate artificial distinctionsbetween technical and sociotechnical topics.

This shift marked a broader recognition that the challenges engineers facedwere increasingly multidisciplinary, requiring a new approach to education. Organizations suchas the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) and the American Society of Civil Engineers(ASCE) also contributed to this evolving perspective.
